June 25, 2010 - We are pleased to announce that FHLBank Topeka’s board of directors approved the following dividends for the second quarter of 2010 at its June 24, 2010, meeting:

The dividends are payable in the form of Class B Common Stock and will be credited to your institution’s capital stock account on June 30, 2010. Any partial shares will be paid in cash and credited to your institution’s demand deposit account on that date as well.
